Digital Calendar with Christmas Music Released

Jacquie Lawson Advent Calendar

Each day from December 1st to 25th, the fun begins with searching for a glowing red ornament within the main market scene and clicking it to reveal a new surprise.

Some are interactive games or puzzles, such as designing Christmas tree ornaments or dressing dolls in traditional European costumes; others are charming animated stories along the lines of e-cards.

The main Christmas Market scene is also full of animated detail, becoming gradually prettier and more festive as Christmas approaches, says the company.
